From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Avoid distribution eccentricities by istalling VLC from Flathub.
True. They created x265 afaik. I literally only layer
libavcodec-freeworldon Fedora Kinoite and thats all I need. VLC does everything. BUUUT the Flatpak is not official! And there is already VLC 4.0 out! So helping the Dev is always important, and Videolan would make it officially maintained like the snap, if the Flatpak devs approach them and explain everything etc.x264 too. And dav1d. Cool people.
Oh. I was reading OP's problem, and didn't understand. I've been on Fedora for a while and never experienced this, but VLC is one of the first programs I install on every new distro.
This is the right answer
